It looks more like a spork.

Spork Tower

Just a tacky and gimmicky as the first design. Affirmation of Black Attention Seeking?

Instead of building new mega-structures they might need to pull down a few.

Definitely a spork.

Since they want something affirmational, why not take inspiration from Timbuktu and build it 100 stories tall?

Don't come for me, but I almost like it!

That’s all they could come up it’s? That’s ugly and awkward looking. The skyscrapers in Asia and Dubai are far more interesting and appealing.

I assume it will sit empty as Chinese, Indian, and Arab billionaires use it to launder dirty money?

It’s in Hudson Yards, the most soulless part of the city.

A pox on overpriced, stupidly designed towers.

Yep. Just what New York needs. Enjoy!

How many Civil Rights museums do we fucking need? They aren’t necessarily civil rights, they’re black museums. Has anyone ever seen a major component of an American “civil rights” museum that highlights the adversity against the GLBT population, the Native American population, the Asian American population? Nope. Only black people have suffered. Let’s make more museums for them!
